21、   Whether from the looks or their functions, some buildings of Europe are seen as strange landmarks and attract visitors from the world.

UFO Bridge(Bratislava, Slovakia)

The space-age silver disc, with a bar and a restaurant, studs opposite the ancient Bratislava Castle and offers splendid views of the Old Town's roofs. While UFO has never been an issue, the special capsule does have the ability to predict the weather, shining different colors each night lo let the city know whether it will be rainy, cloudy, sunny or windy the next day.

Happy Rizzi House(Brunswick, Germany)

A strange landmark is the Happy Rizzi House in Brunswick, Germany. Its bright and colorful cartoons and wonky(歪斜的) frame certainly stand out from the traditional buildings that surround the structure. Pop-artist James Rizzi, who built the house, intended the landmark to celebrate how children see the world and express themselves freely.

Crooked House(Sopot, Poland)

Looking at the contorted(歪曲的) building can feel like you have entered the house of mirrors or put on a pair of strange glasses. Inspired by Polish fairy tales, the structure is home to shops, restaurants and even a radio station.

Office Center 1000(Kaunas, Lithuania )

Novel and oversized cheques are one thing, but a massive banknote built into a ten-storey building is much more impressive and weird. Located in Lithuania's accession to Europe Union, the Office Center 1000 building in Kaunas is made up of 4500 glass panels that form the image of a now-missing 1000 Lithuanian Litas banknote.

22、You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.

“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd,” Gray told the BBC. “They are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”

We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, liftusers unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.

He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want – it’s your own little box.

If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance.

When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.

New entrants(新进入者) to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone.

Why are we so awkward in lifts?

“You don’t have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.”

In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed (理解) as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said.

【1】The main purpose of the article is to______.

A. remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevator

B. tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette

C. share an interesting but awkward elevator ride

D. analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator

【2】According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _____.

A. turn around and greet one another

B. look around or examine their phone

C. make eye contact with those in the elevator

D. try to keep a distance from other people

【3】Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least

two people in an elevator?

【4】The underlined phrase “size up” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _____.

A. judge B. ignore

C. put up with   D. make the best of

【5】According to the article, people feel awkward in lifts because of _____.

A. someone’s odd behaviors

B. the lack of space

C. their unfamiliarity with one another

D. their eye contact with one another

23、D

People are being tricked into Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information.

Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal data is worth.

The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules early on you keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook. You could create your own little private network. Last year. The company changed its privacy rules so that many things; your city, your photo, your friends’ names were set, by default (默认)to be shared with everyone on the Internet.

According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information. They have a “less satisfying experience.

Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. In original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them. At the side of the pages totally, who wants to took at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?

The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April. Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.

I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it’s only the beginning，which is why I’m considering cancelling my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too high a price to pay.

【1】What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?

A. It is a website that sends messages to users who want to get married.

B. It earns money by putting on advertisements.

C. It makes money by selling its users’ personal data.

D. It provides loads of information to its users.

【2】 What does the author say about most Facebook users?

A. They are unwilling to give up their personal information.

B. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook.

C. They don’t identify themselves when using the website.

D. They care very little about their personal information.

【3】Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?

A. To provide better service to its users.

B. To obey the Federal guidelines.

C. To improve its users’ connection

D. To expand its business.

【4】 Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?

A. He is dissatisfied with its present service.

B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.

C. He doesn’t want his personal data badly used.

D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.

24、“Just ate chicken feet for lunch. ” These were the words I wrote on my blog yesterday. By the next day there were hundreds of comments from my friends. They ranged from “OH MY GOD! That is so disgusting! ” to “What were they like?” to “Why can’t you eat sandwiches like everyone else?”

To Chinese people, chicken feet are a normal snack. To my friends in Britain, the thought of eating a chicken’s foot is——well, weird (古怪的). As weird, in fact, as eating a bullfrog, scorpion(蝎子), snake, or turtle.

But if there are two things I love more than anything else in life, they are: trying new things and food.

I arrived in Beijing five months ago. Since then, I’ve searched for the “weirdest” foods so I can try them, then treat my friends to some “virtual（虚拟的）eating” on my blog.

One weekend, I went to Wangfujing, Beijing’s “snack street”. The trip gave me tons of blog material.

“I chose a stick with three live, wriggling(扭动的) scorpions on it,” I wrote. “And it was pretty good. The scorpion was warm and crispy. The legs did have a tendency to get stuck between one’s teeth, however. What’s more, I am sure scorpion number two stung me with its tail in revenge(报复).”

Next came snake: “A bit like a cross between fish and chicken, with a slightly rubbery texture and meaty taste.”

Some people were actually angry when I ate turtle soup——especially when I posted pictures showing the poor little guy’s head staring sadly up at us from the bowl. “I am never speaking to you again,” wrote one (former) friend.

Still, I will continue my culinary quest.

Next on my list is starfish, though I feel I should have some vegetables too——algae, maybe.

So what am I eating, tonight, you may ask. Pizza. Well, a girl’s gotta have a break sometimes.

【1】What does the writer like most in life?

A. Trying new things and food.

B. Traveling.

C. Walking.

D. Shopping.

【2】Where did the writer get her blog material?

A. From her friends.

B. From Wangfujing, Beijing’s “snack street”.

C. From Shopping.

D. From the Internet.

【3】What is the writer’s friends’ attitude toward her trying “weird” foods?

A. They are satisfied.

B. They are happy.

C. They are surprised and even angry.

D. They are sorry.

【4】Which of the following “weirdest” foods is the one writer hasn’t tried?

A. Chicken’s feet.    B. Bullfrog.

C. Scorpion.     D. Chicken’s head.

25、I remember my high school English teacher telling me not to apply to Cornell University. My teacher said they wouldn’t accept me and even if they did I wouldn’t be able to _________ it through the years. I almost _________ but a few days later I came across Ivan Foldfarb, a former teacher, who told me _________, “You apply. You can do it” His words made all the _________. I put in my application and was _________.

Too often we think it’s our _________ to help make someone aware of “reality”. We think we must point out how _________ the job market is as well as how bad the economy is. This world never lacks “ _________ ” and pessimists. It calls for more optimists and encouragers who say, “I believe in you. Have the _________, and you will have the power to make it happen. We may __________ lots of barriers, but we’ll get the project finished. Even if you fail, it’ll lead to something more __________” I know that every one of us loves working for and with people who __________ the best in us.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的 短文。

The Feel-Better Book

My grandparents have lived in a whole different state for as long as I can remember, so I’ve had a lot of experience as far as missing them goes. I usually get to see them only a couple of times a year. But they ended up canceling their summer trip last month because Gran had to have knee surgery.

“It’s not fair!” whined (抱怨) my little brother, Tex. “Paul was going to take me fishing.”

“Sorry, kiddo. That’s just the way the ball bounces,” said my dad, using one of his old-fashioned sayings that all pretty much mean “Relax, because there’s nothing you can do to change this particular situation.”

“And what about the zoo?” grumbled (嘟囔) my little sister, Indi. “Gran and I were going to have a special zoo day, just the two of us!”

“There will be lots more summers for special zoo days,” said my mom. “How about, for now, we give Paul and Gran a call?”

While Tex and Indi talked on the phone, all kinds of memories started playing in my head like a movie: spotting seals from the ferryboat, riding bikes through Golden Gate Park, baking Gran’s world-famous cookies, and putting on silly magic shows with Paul. For some strange reason, those happy memories just made me unbelievably sad. I started missing my grandparents so much that I wanted to cry.

“Here you go,” my mom said, handing me the phone… “It’s your turn to talk to Paul and Gran.”

“Um, I can’t talk right now,” I told her and suddenly I was running down the hall.

“Why in the world did you run away like that?” asked my dad.

“I didn’t want to cry on the phone,” I sniffled (抽泣).

“I’m sure Gran and Paul would have understood,” he said.

“Yes, but they already have enough to worry about with Gran’s knee troubles,” I said. “I want to make Gran happy, not sad!”

“Hey, good idea!” I thought to myself and ran to my room. “I’ll make Gran a get- well-soon card. ”
